Aura builds tools to help keep families safe online. Our recently released Balance features offers parents and children AI-powered tools to ensure that kids are staying safe, healthy, and happy with their online activities, all while protecting their privacy and autonomy. Features include a detailed understanding of day and nighttime usage patterns, analysis of social patterns and expressed mood, and weekly highlights indicating online strengths and interests. Led by a team of clinical and developmental psychologists, all of our tools are built based on current research evidence, established professional guidelines, and decades of clinical experience.
As part of our commitment to building evidence-based tools, we are also actively engaged in conducting innovative research in two primary ways. First, we are conducting our own large-scale, national, prospective study to better understand the relationship between objective markers of device usage in children and adolescents and its relationship to a range of mental health and other important outcomes. Our Technology Exposure and Child Health: Wellness Impact and Social Effects (TECHWISE) study will be an important data source to address this critically important area. Our second area of research involves freely and openly sharing a wide range of de-identified data from our commercial users (covered under an IRB-approved Waiver of Consent), as well as our TECHWISE study data with academic researchers interested in this area. We are already collaborating with a range of institutions, including the Winston Center at UNC-Chapel Hill, Boston Children’s Hospital, and Penn/CHOP. Interested investigators should contact us for more information on data access or free access to our products for data capture.
The Child Mind Institute (CMI) is an independent nonprofit dedicated to transforming the lives of children and families struggling with mental health and learning challenges through science, clinical care, and education.
At the 2025 Tools and Methodologies Exposition, CMI will highlight three innovative tools designed to bring high-quality data collection and mental health support into real-world environments:
-
- Curious: A secure, no-code research platform that enables the design and deployment of ecological momentary assessments, cognitive tasks, and interventions at scale.
- Mirror: A youth-centered journaling app for ages 13+ co-developed with youth and clinicians, which captures mood check-ins and expressive content (text, audio, video) and allows researchers to explore emotional patterns through a secure Research API.
- Mobile Brain/Body Imaging (MoBI) Lab: A suite of tools for psychophysiological and neurological measurement in naturalistic settings.
- Curious: A secure, no-code research platform that enables the design and deployment of ecological momentary assessments, cognitive tasks, and interventions at scale.
Together, these tools support more inclusive, scalable, and ecologically valid approaches to mental health research and care.
Fairplay and the Phone-Free Schools Movement are partnering to create healthier, more focused learning environments for children and teens. Fairplay is the leading nonprofit advocating for children’s well-being by eliminating exploitative marketing and Big Tech practices. Founded by Dr. Susan Linn, Fairplay remains an independent voice for kids, working closely with health experts, educators, policymakers, and a growing national network to reduce harmful screen use and promote safe, developmentally appropriate digital environments.
The Phone-Free Schools Movement is dedicated to fostering bell-to-bell phone-free school policies in K–12 education. Their work supports student focus, safety, and social connection by removing the distractions of phones and social media from classrooms.
At the 2025 Tools and Methodologies Exposition, the two organizations will showcase a suite of powerful tools, including a comprehensive Administrator Toolkit for implementing phone-free school policies, storage solutions, a growing research program, and the Screens & Learning Action Kit. Visitors will also get a preview of their new community engagement platform and learn about Fairplay’s Screen Time Action Network—a coalition driving change in screen habits and digital well-being. Together, they’re redefining childhood and education based on what’s best for kids—not what’s best for profits.
Healthy Screen Habits is a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering families to develop healthy, research-backed screen use habits that preserve technology as a tool, never a replacement, for real human connection. Founded in 2018 by four mom (a social worker, educator, educational psychologist, and medical expert), Healthy Screen Habits provides accessible, practical guidance to help families navigate digital life with confidence.
At the 2025 Tools and Methodologies Exposition, Healthy Screen Habits will showcase its cornerstone framework, the “5 Core Healthy Screen Habits,” which helps kids take control of their time and attention, and helps parents feel equipped to guide them. The organization’s offerings include dynamic, research-informed school and parent presentations, a robust website and podcast featuring over 140 expert-led episodes, and the recently published Healthy Screen Habits for Tweens & Teens Workbook, a user-friendly guide for helping young people use their phones as purposeful tools, not distractions.
Visitors to the booth can explore free resources, learn strategies for everyday screen challenges, and see firsthand why Healthy Screen Habits is making digital life easier—and healthier—for families everywhere.
imec-mict-UGent is an interdisciplinary research group at Ghent University and the digital research institute imec. The group focuses on human-technology interaction, digital well-being, and data ethics, with a mission to inform inclusive and user-centered design in a rapidly digitizing society.
At the 2025 Tools and Methodologies Exposition, imec-mict-UGent will showcase an innovative, privacy-preserving method for collecting Apple Screen Time data from iPhones, iPads, and Macs. Leveraging Apple’s native features and using the Mac as a secure hub, this GDPR-compliant method allows detailed app and notification data to be collected without third-party software or internet access. Based on a data donation model, the method provides researchers with a reliable way to study Apple device use, traditionally a blind spot in behavioral research, while maintaining full participant privacy and control.
Nanit is a leading smart baby monitoring company that combines advanced technology with parenting insights to help families thrive. Known for its award-winning HD baby monitor, Nanit offers real-time video, sleep tracking, and breathing motion monitoring, all accessible through an intuitive mobile app. Nanit Lab, the research arm of Nanit, offers researchers passively collected sleep metrics, as well the ability to distribute custom IRB-approved surveys to their highly engaged user base, enabling large-scale studies on parental practices, infant development, physical growth, and more.
At the 2025 Tools and Methodologies Exposition, Nanit Lab will showcase their smart baby monitor system, which captures high-quality sleep data in real-world environments. They will also be providing live demos of how parents interact with the Nanit app, the types of data collected through their validated computer vision algorithms, and how these data can power cutting-edge research on infant and toddler sleep.
Due to a generous donation, we are now able to offer complimentary tables to select exhibitors.
